To determine if 1306 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1306.
If the factors of 1306 are only 1306 and 1, then we know that 1306 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1306 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1306 is only divisible by 1 and 1306, then it is a prime number, and if 1306 is divisible by more than 1306 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1306 are as follows:
1, 2, 653, 1306
Therefore, since 1306 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1306 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1307 prime or composite?
